A suspected Boko Haram member has been arrested at the residence of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar in Yola, the Adamawa State Capital in an attempt to bomb the building.

The suspect, Jubrila Mohammed was apprehended on Sunday, according to former presidential aide, Reno Omokri in a tweet on his handle on Monday.

The suspect was nabbed after he was seen acting suspiciously. He was taken to the police station and interrogated, where he confessed to being a member of the terrorist group.

Mohammed told police that he was part of a plot to bomb Atiku’s residence, as well as faculties at the American University of Nigeria, Yola, and the Modibbo Adama Central Mosque.

The suspect has been taken into the custody of the State CID of the Adamawa Police Command.

Omokri, who is a staunch supporter of Atiku called on the police to conduct a full and proper investigation and urged the Federal Government to heighten security around the PDP presidential candidate.

“This incident is too serious to be treated with levity, especially with the state of the nation,” Omokri said.

“This could be more than meets the eye. Nigerians need to know what is actually going on.”

His tweet reads, “Yesterday, Sunday, July 23, 2023, at about 9 PM, a man acting suspiciously was detected at Waziri Atiku’s residence in Yola.
